Title I Parent Involvement Survey for 2012-2013

This survey is your opportunity to share what parents need when it comes to educating their children. Your input is extremely important. The survey will be used by Gwinnett Title I Office and by your school’s Title I Planning Team in developing the Parent Involvement Policy and Action Plan of parent events.
